I got 9, foiled by a late equalizer by Celtic at Parkhead with my undoing being an atrocious home form. I was replaced by David Moyes Anyways I quickly landed on my feet, taking over at Watford who were 18th in the Premier League on 18 points, here was their form when I took over Here were my results I ended up getting 25 points to finish 14th on 43. Point 40 was the 2-2 home draw with Arsenal and then my team sort of checked out and I shitfested my way to the end of the season. I wasn't mathematically safe going into the final game of the season at Brighton. I now have to dump a metric fuckton of players, there are a huge number of shite veterans still under contract for a year or two Good that you kept Watford up, couple of fine wins against Tottenham and Chelsea. Hopefully you can get Watford climbing the table in the seasons ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally had the same number of right backs as midfielders (6) at the end of the season which isn't great when you are playing a 4-1-2-3 and need 3 midfielders but only 1 right back. I've done some wheeling and dealing already, got left back Guilhelmo Arena from Corinthians, Olivier Ntcham from Celtic, Fraser Forster from Southampton and I hope to add Chris Smalling as well. Need to shed a lot of dead weight but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recognise the guy from Corinthians but I assume Southampton and Celtic would want a pretty hefty transfer fee for Forster and Ntcham. I would assume both would also be after a decent size wage including clauses and bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I've been able to dump a few players, including 2 right backs so I am slowly cleaning up the squad. 1 hour ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Get that fucking date format sorted.

The first was a 3-0 defeat at ICT which was no shock. The second a 2-1 win at home to Cowdenbeath after being 1-0 down and a man down at half time. Cowdenbeath had drawn 2-2 at Dunfermline and lost on pens and drawn 5-5 at home to Livingston also losing on pens, before the game at Links Park.

Actually 9 points is highly likely I assume Partick will win the group. Wonder if 9 points would be gold enough for a best runner up spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 After the August 2020 transfer window, here is my squad. Still a bit overloaded but good depth at most positions. Not in this screen are 3 players I am stuck with for now, a 34 year old Brazilian right back named Jonathan who still has 2 years left on a 27 grand per week deal but is only rated 1.5 star by my assistants and is comfortably the 4th best RB in my side. Another is 33 year old Striker/attacking midfielder Mauro Zarate who still has another year on his 51 grand per week deal, also rated 1.5 star with the third misfit being 4th string goalie Declan Rudd, he's also got 2 years left on his deal but his wages aren't that high so I am surprised I wasn't able to move him on.

Poet of the Macabre Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not loading fixtures used to happen in the Scottish leagues on FM 2008 if you didn't have the patch. Was very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my revenge when I got the editor working, I released all Celtic players and stuck them in league 2 changing the colours to pink and blue. My nephew was not very amused.

senorsoupe Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 If you are looking for a good, interesting challenge and like youth development I highly recommend Partizan Belgrade. There are some excellent prospects and you get European Football. I've started a save and have discovered some promising players so far. I've signed a couple of veterans including Hamit Altintop but am hoping to be able to improve some younger players. I have a 17 year old winger that has been good so far, two goals in 4 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Sometimes this game gives you immense satisfaction. Champions League playoff round with Partizan Belgrade against Red Bull Salzburg. Lost the first leg at home 2-1 so need to pull something off in Austria. Got an early goal to tie things on aggregate but am still trailing on away goals, 65th minute I roll the dice and bring on a second striker, it pays off as my sub scored in the 80th minute to send me through to the group stages!
